what 200k miles does to an o2 sensor
had a check light throwing code 21 so i bought a new o2 sensor today, check out my old one haha.
truck was sluggish and seemed lean and gas mpg was TERRIBLE
Needless to say, the truck runs awsome now.

i just put on a flowmaster 40 serioes so i took the cat out of my system all together at the same time, and it was on my 1989 toyota pickup 3vze.
sensor was in the exhaust right before where my cat used to be.
What is seafoam, never heard of it...???
also, as soon as i replaced it, the check light went off, so i should be good to go, performance gains were very unpredictable, runs way better than i could ever have imagined.

yeah its only held on by 3 14mm bolts, i should prob check out my o2 sensor truck running like and horrible gas mileage. I pulled off the whole exaust system when i did my clutch a few months ago and saw that the bolts holding on the O2 sensors is hella corroded on. So seafoam is suppose to help get it off easier?

*thread jack*
Need to replace my o2 sensor and the bolts, they are completly rounded off.
Anybody know what size/thread type they are so I can go to the hardware store and get some new ones?

a good suggestion if yours is the stud with the nut, then its best to try and get that off with some penetrant soaking. If you break that stud, things will suck. A good option is to use your dremel and cut through the nut to break the nut off. also wire brush it to help.
